Zhang Yuanjing did not pick up Du Fuming's Sumeru Ring, but instead asked Yu Tianwan to keep it and hand it over to True Person Tong in the future.

Yu Tianwan first led the group of Core Formation cultivators to search eastward, while Zhang Yuanjing took the Sumeru Ring, stored commonly used items in his storage bracelet, and followed from behind.

The Cluster Mountain range spans thousands of miles, and even just the eastern part is quite large. The Profound Sky Sect only had nine Core Formation cultivators, so they dared not spread out too much. Thus, they divided into three teams, maintaining a distance of two hundred miles between each other, and flew towards the Great Marsh.

Zhang Yuanjing's escape technique was subpar, and he couldn't catch up with Yu Tianwan in front of him for a while. However, he had already made up his mind not to travel with Yu Tianwan and the others, lest the True Person from the Thick Earth Sect was still tracking him.

He frequently communicated with the Refined Yang Umbrella in his storage bracelet, confirming that there were no Nascent Soul auras in the nearby earth before daring to move forward with peace of mind.

Before he had gone far, his sound transmission jade vibrated. He took it out and listened, and it turned out to be from Lu Tianying.

He pondered for a moment, said a sentence to the sound transmission jade, and then turned around and headed towards Odd Emerald Peak.

The Core Formation cultivators of the Profound Sky Sect in front, only saw the battle between the two sides when they reached the edge of the Great Marsh.

On the Profound Sky Sect's side was Ma Jie, the Sect Master of the Spirit Evolution Sect. He had six subordinate sect cultivators with him. The seven of them formed the Big Dipper Formation, each with a formation flag under their feet.

On the Heavenly Devil Abyss side, there were ten people, led by Qu Ze of the Heavenly Devil Abyss. They were stronger and had higher morale, frantically attacking the Big Dipper Formation, causing the formation to totter. Ma Jie and the others all looked miserable, as if they had lost their parents.

When the nine Core Formation elders of the three Profound Sky Sect teams gathered, Yu Tianwan immediately led the cultivators to launch a fierce attack.

In terms of numbers, the Profound Sky Sect cultivators had a great advantage, but what really made the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators afraid was that Yu Tianwan and the nine others had escaped unscathed. This could not help but make them suspect that something had happened to Du Fuming, and that the Nascent Soul of the Profound Sky Sect had arrived.

Therefore, Qu Ze and the ten others were caught in a pincer attack from inside and outside, and immediately scattered to both sides.

The Profound Sky Sect cultivators divided into two teams, chased for two hundred miles, killed three people, and then gathered their troops.

Yu Tianwan hurriedly asked, "Sect Master Ma, Sect Master Ren, Elder Cui?"

He was concerned about Tao Tianxing, but in front of a group of subordinate sect Core Formation cultivators, he couldn't ask too obviously.

Ma Jie said, "Elder Yu, we chased far in the east and west directions. After converging, we went to support that mountain peak. Just as we were about to arrive, we saw more than twenty Heavenly Devil Abyss Core Formation cultivators attacking. The leader was Qi Xuyang.

"Everyone turned around and ran. Qi Xuyang and his gang of killers didn't chase too closely, only occasionally coming up to kill one or two people. Seeing that this was not a solution, I took out a set of Big Dipper Formation flags that I had stored, and called six people to set up a formation here and fight the enemy fiercely.

"Sect Master Ren and Elder Cui each led two or three people and fled to the east. I saw that Elder Tao was with Elder Cui."

At this time, Jin Tianwu said, "Senior Brother Yu, I sent a sound transmission to Junior Brother Tao, but there is no response yet."

"Send a sound transmission to Cui Huaiyuan!"

"I asked, but there was no response either."

At this time, one of the subordinate sect cultivators spoke, "Elder Yu, I sent a sound transmission to Sect Master Ren, and he replied. He said he was in the Youyun Mountain area in the southeast, alone. The two who fled with him had scattered and their fates were unknown."

This person was Yu Yingfeng. His words were vague, but everyone present understood. Ren Ji ran away with two people, but only he survived.

"Elder Yu, ask Sect Master Ren if he saw Elder Cui go in which direction?"

Yu Yingfeng hurriedly sent a sound transmission, and after a while, he said, "Sect Master Ren said that Elder Cui and Elder Tao seemed to have gone to Luyan Mountain in the northeast."

Yu Tianwan said, "Elder Yu, send a sound transmission to Sect Master Ren, and if there is no danger, let him go to Luyan Mountain on his own."

Then he ordered, "Everyone, follow me to Luyan Mountain to kill the bandits!"

The group flew quickly all the way. On the way, Yu Tianwan divided the group into three teams again, staggered about a hundred miles apart, and approached Luyan Mountain in three routes.

However, even when the three teams reached the foot of Luyan Mountain, they did not encounter a single Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivator. Before long, Ren Ji also rushed over and joined the group.

Yu Tianwan sighed, knowing that most likely someone among the previous group of Heavenly Devil Abyss Core Formation cultivators had sent a sound transmission to Qi Xuyang, and this person had led the other half of the Heavenly Devil Abyss Core Formation cultivators back to Cluster Mountain.

He ordered everyone to search separately to see if they could find any traces of Cui and Tao. Half an hour later, they found the bodies of the two under a cliff.

Yu Tianwan said sadly and indignantly, "Everyone, the formation deployed by the Heavenly Devil Abyss in the central area of Cluster Mountain has been destroyed. Let's go over there and avenge the fallen Daoists!"

Hundreds of thousands of miles away from Cluster Mountain, in a hidden valley, three cultivators were sitting cross-legged under a lush tree.

The three of them didn't know how long they had been sitting here, each meditating with their eyes closed, without speaking.

Suddenly, the ugly-looking cultivator sitting on the left said, "Senior Brother Hou, Cluster Mountain has not sent any news, and I don't know how the battle is going! Senior Brother Du is on that side, I wonder if he will show his face?"

This person was actually Lu Dingyi, the Heavenly Devil Abyss Nascent Soul who attacked the Profound Sky Sect's mountain gate that day.

The person in the middle, with a refined temperament and handsome appearance, smiled softly, "Junior Brother Lu, you can't hold your breath? Don't underestimate Junior Brother Du, he has his own sense of propriety, no need to worry."

The middle-aged man with a stubbly beard on the right also opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Mountain Lord, are we still going to the Profound Origin Hall?"

The person in the middle laughed loudly, "Junior Brother Qin wants to go to the Profound Origin Hall? Do you want to try Tong Tianfu's Sky Thunder Halberd?"

The middle-aged man immediately shook his head, "I can't afford the Sky Thunder Halberd! That Tong is completely shameless. No matter how I humiliated him last time, he just wouldn't fight me fairly!"

The person in the middle shook his head, "Tong Tianfu is not someone who can be provoked by words! This person is meticulous, good at figuring out people's hearts, and should not be underestimated. He plays the trick of making the empty seem real and the real seem empty with us. We will use his own way to deal with him, and come up with a plan that is both empty and real, true and false, so that he will be at a loss!"

Lu Dingyi asked, "What do you mean?"

The person in the middle smiled, "Just sit still and watch the disciples fight!"

Lu Dingyi frowned, somewhat worried, "If we do this, Du Fuming will probably complain to the sect."

The middle-aged man showed a disgusted expression and said unhappily, "Then let him take action and lure Tong Tianfu to Cluster Mountain."

The person in the middle waved his hand, just about to speak, when suddenly his expression changed and he said, "There is movement in the formation, I will go and come back."

His figure moved, and he disappeared. After a moment, he reappeared as if out of thin air and landed in his original meditation place.

He said with a solemn expression, "Something happened to Junior Brother Du!"

Lu Dingyi and the middle-aged man both widened their eyes and jumped up.

"What happened?"

"He showed up in Cluster Mountain, captured nine Core Formation cultivators of the Profound Sky Sect, but not long after, these nine Core Formation cultivators reappeared unharmed in front of Qu Ze and the others, while Junior Brother Du disappeared!" The person in the middle said with a puzzled expression.

Lu Dingyi's eyes lit up, "Could it be that Tong Tianfu went to Cluster Mountain? He doesn't want the Profound Origin Hall anymore? He's not protecting that Zhang Yuanjing?"

The person in the middle nodded, "That's possible. Perhaps Tong Tianfu wants to use a Zhang Yuanjing to exchange for our withdrawal! However, Junior Brother Du is probably in mortal danger!"

The middle-aged man rejoiced, "Mountain Lord, why bother with Du Fuming, let's go to the Profound Origin Hall quickly!"
